"Your secret is safe with me."
I heard her sigh of relief. "Krista, nothing is going to happen tonight that you don't want to happen. If you would like to, you could change out of those clothes into something more comfortable, while I get us some food."
I could tell that the idea of taking her clothes off wasn't something she wanted to do with me around. "It's okay you can trust me. If you changed it might relax the atmosphere in here some. I'm admittedly male and well everything about that outfit screams that your female with a message of come and get me."
"Ohh!" She got up quickly and I got up too.
"I'll change while you're gone." She said quickly.
Nodding awkwardly in response I headed for the door but her voice stopped me.
"Could you help me with something before you go?"
I turned back to find Krista's back turned to me and her hair pulled out of the way exposing a row of tiny buttons in the middle of her back. "Could you undo these please?" She asked softly.
I swallowed hard and walked up behind her looking at the tiny buttons. My big fingers fumbled trying to unhook the impossibly tiny buttons and eventually they all came undone and the fabric pulled apart revealing the skin of her back, along with the faint white scars she bore, as evidence of time spent in the firan cane fields. Her back may be scarred, but it looked soft too.
"There you go." I said thickly stepping back towards the door trying to blindly find the handle with my hands as I continued to gaze at the soft skin I had exposed.
She looked over one shoulder at me and softly said, "Thank you".
I nodded not trusting myself to frame words.
My hands found the handle and I quickly stepped outside the room and closed the door resting my head against it for a moment, to collect my rampaging thoughts, before I headed for the kitchen to steal some food for us.
I knocked on the door briefly and heard a muffled reply to enter. Not only had she changed, but she had done a quick cleanup of the room to and was now sitting curled up on the sofa again.
Oh darn it all! She looked so desirably cute in the shapeless oversized robe she was wrapped up in. It didn't matter what she wore she was simply irresistibly attractive to me. It was going to be a long night to say the least.
I sat the food trays down in front of her and watched her descend on them with a healthy appetite, while I sat back and let my eyes feast on her instead. Glancing up she saw my gaze on her and her eating slowed down to a halt.
